The definition of the Word ADVENT :

Adventus - coming, arrival, appearance, used for divine visitation



Joy to the World !
The Lord will come !
Let earth receive her King !
Let ev'ry heart prepare him room

And heaven and nature sing,

Let men their song employ;
plains, while fields  and floods , rocks and hills and 
Repeat the sounding joy.

with truth and grace, 
And make the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness, 
and wonders of his love.
